TRANSPORT WINGS kits are model kits of large aircraft - the experienced

modellers can now own 1:72 models of many of the world's largest airliners and

their military transport variants. Because of their size, they are moulded in very

heavy (2 mm) plastic, and are supplied with all parts pre-cut. Additional cutting and

sanding is required, and the parts are assembled with polystyrene cement, as with

any other plastic kit. Resin or metal parts should be attached with super glue

(cyanoacrylate) or 5-minute epoxy as the builder prefers.

The series 100 was the first version of the famous 747 airliner.

modifications resulted in the series 200, which was visually the same, except for

more windows on the upper deck.

The 747SP (Special Performance) was a revised layout with shorter fuselage. The

special performance was the exceptionally long range of the aircraft.

The later series 300 had a stretched upper deck, with larger upper deck doors.

The series 400 had the stretched upper deck of the -300, together with modified

wing root leading edges (for reduced drag), and winglets.

There are various military versions of the aircraft, including the E-4B Airborne

Command Post, VC-25 'Air Force One' and the YAL-1 Airborne Laser

The latest development in the history of this aircraft is the 747-8, with a new wing,

and engines based on those used on the 787.

The 747-300, 747-400, E-4B and VC-25 are all available as Transport Wings kits.
